Augmented reality has enough gee-whiz dazzle to make a visit to “Now You See It . . .,” at Boston Cyberarts Gallery, simply fun. The best works also have conceptual traction.
Aim the viewfinder at the gallery’s tile floor to see Will Pappenheimer’s “Waters Rising.” A female superhero appears. Water fills the gallery, immersing her (and, by implication, us). The woman, toting a fur-covered sword and a shield, dodges and slashes at gem-like floating boulders and parakeets.
At Boston Cyberarts Gallery, 141 Green St., Jamaica Plain, through May 13. 617-522-6710, www.bostoncyberarts.org
